I'm working on a website thats a cms, and I want to hand it over where the customer can go to their WYSIWYG editor enter their text and then insert picture or graphic, uploaded from their own machine

Here's the problem I have, Once the file is uploaded this way http:http I'm told the server owns the file for 24 hours until a script releases the file and the file is untouchable! where as if I ftp the file to the server it goes to the server and can be worked with straight away.

Which I see as a serious problem, where as I can upload files but can't work with them for 24 hours,(no point in explaining ftp to the customer) I'm been on to support and they say only the engineers can release the file and have to wait up to 24 hours.

Now I can't exactly tell a customer he can upload pictures and graphics but must wait 24 hours for him to be able to work with them(even thinking about explaining it gives me a headache)

This an Irish host, which I was thinking about transferring all my websites too them but it hasn't been easy so far and this seems to be the last straw.

Anyone else with this problem and I know blacknight posts here, and is this the same with your hosting? Even though I won't say who the host is because I'm sure they do a great job for other people but for my requirements its just not working out.

Thanks
